What people love about training with Calado
Form Checks
A comprehensive assessment of your movement to verify solid technique and guide you towards exercises, ideas, and exploration that will better help you reach your goal.
Personalized information
I am an open book about where I read or hear the information that I provide. Ever have a question about what else to explore, or who else to refer to, I’m always willing to share what I know.
Mobility & Coordination
Our bodies are capable of so much more that we think. We want to build our mind and body in a way that affords us the freedom to move and express ourselves in whatever way we choose.
Plan your progress
Having a plan is half the battle (the other half is showing up). I want to make sure you have a plan set in place so you now where you want to be by the end of our time together. We will set goals, set our minds to the task.
Integrate into your training
Regardless if you are interested in gymnastics, sports, parkour, Capoeira, or any other movement art, the principles you learn is meant to compliment any existing training you currently have.
Schedule a free consultation
Schedule a free consultation to see if I can help fulfill your movement goals. There is no commitment required for a 20 minute call.
Why Capoeira as a foundation?
Capoeira is of the most effective donor sports available. A donor sport is an activity that gives you a leg up in other endeavors. Why Capoeira? Capoeira is one of the premier activities for building coordination. Capoeira also has a strong focus on range of motion, rhythm, proprioception and other elements that easily cross over into MMA, Dance, Parkour, Rock Climbing, Yoga, and many other activities.
Some of biggest leaders in the Movement space like Ido Portal have trained Capoeira, which is at the heart of their now much wider movement practices. Today, many athletes at the elite level have movement teachers to supplement their training and it’s for a good reason! Moving well is foundational.
Coaching on your schedule
Never run late to class again! Coaching is scheduled based on your availability. That can be in the morning, afternoon, or at night! Plug in when you can train, and you’re all set.
